Turn OFF ASUS Aura RGB Lights When PC Is Shutdown In Armoury Crate

#RGB #ASUS #ArmouryCrate #AURASync #NORGB #Shutdown
Turn OFF ASUS Aura or Aura sync lights when your PC is shutdown or sleeping in ASUS Armoury Crate software
Having the Motherboard RGB still going when the Computer is shut down but still powered can be annoying if the PC is in a room you are sleeping in or if you just want to save your electricity bill.
The RGB at the shutdown state can be easily turned off fully in the new Armoury Crate software but the option is slightly hidden in a similar way as it was in the original Aura sync program.
In Armoury Crate on the left hand side go to devices then select your motherboard from the list of supported components, then in the shutdown state you can simply move the toggle option to the off position or select the black option in the custom colour palette. Both will set the LED brightness to zero and achieve the same desired outcome.

[@megadead1837]

You are a legend. This setting was way off hidden from a usability standpoint. It was already a weird option to have this LEDs work while the PC is shut down. To hide the option behind a mouse and keyboard icon and not the overall lightning effect settings is just infuriating.

I had selected "dark" mode in aura sync and it defaulted to unicorn puke when shut down. Had to turn on RGB, then it allowed me to change the shutdown effect to off and after that I could set it back into dark mode. Just in case anyone has the same issue. Thanks for the video!

[@JoeBob79569]

Nice one! The Armoury Crate is great, in theory, and the interface looks lovely, but ASUS are really terrible with software, naming, and options. I reinstalled Armoury Crate yesterday because the old version made my mouse really stuttery after a Windows update, and so I had this exact same lighting problem, again! I went into the BIOS and turned off the lights, and it did nothing! Lights were still on when I shut down the PC. Whoever thought this was a smart idea needs their head checked. Especially the decision to set rainbow as the default setting. WTF? I assume that the Armoury Crate just overwrites the BIOS setting as soon as the PC restarts again, so you _have_ to do it this way. Idiots!

[@mikesunboxing]

yeah they have a lot to learn

[@ohata0]

did you figure out how to turn it off? i'm not sure if you have "stealth mode" in your bios, but that seems to work i think. turning aura off just seems to turn it off while powered on, but if stealth mode is an option, try that one

[@TheFman2010]

Thank you for this video. I did mistakenly go to the aura effects. Now I know what I should do instead. Also, as an aside, you have confirmed for me a feature of the armory crate that had been bothering me for a long while. The app's switches had either an "on" or "off" label on them. If a switch was labelled "on", I was not sure whether that word referred to the current on state of the system, or whether the system was actually off and that was the "on" switch. Now, I know from your example. :-)

[@dorientjewoller113]

Funny how those manufacturers call it aRGB, while they only offer a select possibilities in their software. Thought the "a" in aRGB stood for adressable, meaning that you as user is able to assign color and effect to one single led as you like.

[@mikesunboxing]

lol i heard a similar discussion the other day, technically the actual LED is addressable, if they will let you the user change it that is another matter

Why can't this be an option in BIOS? Why do you need to download a gigantic piece of Windows software for such a trivial feature? (Why _does_ the MB even leave the leds on when the computer is otherwise shut down? What sense does that make? At least disable the feature by default. Those who want the leds to be always on as long as the MB gets power can go and turn it on if they want.)
